Getting Lost A Personal Narrative By Hayley Meijndert Where were we? I didn't even know, we were lost. Well if you want to know here’s why.…
As I look up at the sky, which is blood red like the sun stabbed it so it could get away from its eternal partner,I begin to hear the horrible noises of these sky creatures. Their horrible squealing draws everything's attention because it sounds the an incantation to summon the devil from the pits of the underworld. The howling wind joins in trying to make the summoning happening quicker but instead it makes me feel like my ears are going to bleed and starts to cast a sleeping spell on anyone caught in this siren song. The trees become alive to this bewitching tunes as their rodent inhabitants begin to run around trying to attack one another like wolves attacking a deer. Next door the neighbor’s rowdy brats come outside, probably because this is their favorite tune, with their wild and atrocious dog to play game of run around and destroy the yard or as most call it fetch.…
After a three-hour bus ride, surrounded by strangers, I arrived at Camp Pendleton. With no expectations, I assumed Devil Pups would be just another leadership camp. As I stepped off the bus immediately trapped by three drill instructors screaming in my face, I knew I had made a grave mistake. From the moment I stepped foot on Camp Pendleton, I knew my life would never be the same. Devil Pups was initiated due to a group of teenagers who in the 1950's burned down the American flag.…
When my parents announced that we were getting a dog, I screamed my head off—not literally! I was so loud you could hear me on Mars! My dad explained that we had to go to Calgary, because that’s where the breeder lived. We left in my mom’s silver Acura to get the dog. My Dad said we had to get a boy because he didn’t want puppies.…
It’s a bright autumn morning that consists of brilliant colors, crisp leaves that crunch beneath my feet and the air just cool enough for a light jacket. The holidays are finally here and saying that I am absolutely thrilled would be an understatement. It is my favorite time of year! My stomach begins to growl with hunger in anticipation of what tomorrow will bring. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I realize a feast is in store for me.…
I, Mandy Flores, was cashiering at the registers when the male and female customers we were extra customer servicing approached the cash registers and asked for their backpacks. Upon grapping their backpacks the guy and girl were near the door way and one of them set off our sensormatic alarms. I had the guy step in the doorway and it was him that was setting off the alarm. At this time, Maegan asked over the radio if everything was okay and this is when I called Diana/ Employee 4.…
I frame my future by providing a safe and loving home for animals. When I received my dog, Indiana, as a birthday present I never expected the dramatic results that would take place. Indiana is a high energy, excitable pooch who has made a very special nest in my heart. Her love for me is stronger than diamonds, and it shows on her face every time I walk thorough the front door. By going to College I am learning the skills to nurture and love many animals, the same way my sweet dog loves…
I remember the time I was looking for a dog. Wasn't mine, but was my friend's dog. The night before my brother Isaiah, and his friend Andrew were on a walk with his dog. They were walking along a trail right next the park. We've probably walked that trail about a million times, so what makes this time so special?…
D- Dog- Have you ever owned a dog that just lifted your spirits when yor feeling low, had that furry little companion that makes you feel loved? Last year we had to give our beloved dog away because we could not handle him anymore, he was too energetic and he escaped easily. I was so excited to finally get a dog. The joy of having that companion that always seems to get you in a good mood when you're feeling low.…
Isn't it weird knowing that, you can notice the demons of others, the beast that hangs around you, in fact, even at school, I see people’s own beast’s as I brush past the students and teachers as it hangs on their shoulders, or pulls them by their hair, grasping it so tight, they can’t break free. I notice the ugly beast of depression wearing my friend’s faces thin, the subtle beast of anxiety steer them away from me, the small beast of anger beating on their heads as the beast forces them to speak these lies, but, everyone's beast is unique. There’s a scarf around my tired neck. I would rush through the halls, pass another faceless student and another, bleak souls, mirrored smiles and laughs tear at them. It still smells like summer.…
One of the endearing attributes about my mother is she loved animals. I remember the two hound dogs she received as a gift from her brother, my Uncle Timmy. My mother said they were enhorre, which means lazy. She said, "All they do is sleep all day and eat like a horse." Whenever strangers came around they would raise their heads, look at them, and drop their heads back down and go back to sleep.…
After reviewing the topic about a child’s brain and how it is the most complex thing on earth. One thing immediately came to mind: Languages. I have been fascinated with how newborns and small children learn languages, and how they can master them just by listening and hearing. I have taught English as a second language for many years, and worked with children who speak multiple languages without diligence. At one point, I was so impressed seeing these children speak them fluently, but then I realized; I went through exactly the same thing.…
It was just going to be one of those normal mornings where you get up, get dressed, and eat your waffles. Then it hit me, I remembered my family and I were getting a dog today. I was excited to go. Then before I knew it we hit the road. Or at least the fifteen minute drive from our house to the pet store.…
Summer two-thousand-fifteen, my family had the idea to help a dog rescue called Mostly Muttz by fostering a puppy. Ashley, the puppy we would foster, came to my house and she was the most lovable, funny, and well behaved puppy I have ever seen. I, being a responsible, caring person, was the most excited. My mother, helpful and loving, brought her out of the car.…
One memorable moment is when I got a dog. I had been wanting a dog for years but I was always told no until finally, my dad’s friend’s dog had puppies. At first my parents weren’t too sure but agreed to getting one after I promised to take care of the dog. Plus, the dog was free so they really thought about it.…
